The 555 draws a lot of current during switching and to prevent problems
you MUST put a big capacitor across the supply rails. Something like
47uf to 100uF.

No switch needed.

The info on how to do that wasn't released at the time of this video. I'll be posting a follow up video demonstrating that soon. Thanks for watching!

I'm not sold on it only being able to play ready-made tunes. Surely you can program/control your own MIDI pitch and rhythm information into it?

Thanks for the tutorial 🙂 great stuff

"This adapter" is the one in the link above. For some reason it didn't appear in my post!

The relevant symptoms are with both TRS and TRRS (iPhone headset w/mic) headphones, with or without a TRRS mic plugged in, in both an iPhone 5 and an original iPad.

I haven't had a chance to continuity-test the wiring yet, but the voltage for the electret mic in iPhone headsets shouldn't be causing a problem for headphones going through this adapter, right?

TIA

All I want to do is make an mike extension for my iPod4s. Your blog makes it easy by including the plug item number from Mouser.

FYI the female inline jack for the other end of the wire (to mate with the mike I already have) item number is 161-6435-EX. I expect that connecting the appropriate terminals with a two-conductor wire will give me exactly what I need. Thanks so much for this blog entry!
